Comparing Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’s Cybersecurity Records and 2024 Campaign Agendas: National Security, Data Privacy, and the Future of Digital Threat Defense
In full disclosure and transparency, I will note that am heavily in the democratic side of this discussion.
I think you fail to note a couple of important notes about the former president's track record, as well as not noting some important aspects of the Biden-Harris administration's work on cybersecurity.
Next to discuss the democratic side of this equation - I'll draw your attention to the Biden-Harris Cybersecurity strategy and following work done by the amazing Jen Easterly, the current head of CISA. I really don't think you can even compare the two administrations approach to cybersecurity. Your post seems to suggest that the Harris administration will somehow ignore international threat actors and our national security. I will only point out the emphasis the Biden-Harris administration put on international cyber collaboration - https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/cisa-releases-new-global-strategy-international-engagement.
I'm sorry - on one side you have an old politically corrupt administration who hardly knows how to spell AI probably does think the internet is a series of pipes, and would actively look to boost our adversaries, and on the other you have a young, forward-looking administration looking to cooperate with our allies and disrupt adversaries infrastructure.
Again - as noted in the beginning - I am absolutely in the American side of this equation.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. When doing this story and article, we researched both candidates and administration. This article in non-bias and we took away anything that was denied and not verified for both candidates. The joint cyber unit with Russia was part of a larger reproach strategy the administration considered and never came to fruition. One item we kept out although verified for President Trump was the 2018 Midterm election cyber attack you authorized against Russian, Chinese and Iranian assets from interfering in the election.
We also omitted an unverified story on Vice President Harris and President Biden regarding some cybersecurity discussions due to the same facts as above. The view here is 60,000 ft and not a case by case analysis.
On a personal note, I respect everyones decision and thats the beauty of our nation. As for Chris Krebs, I personally considered him to be a bad leader of CISA and I have a slew of reasons behind that from people close to the matter. I agree with your comments on Ms. Easterly work performance, she has been a top performer and great leader for CISA. The work she has done is nothing short of praise worthy.
Gladly Nov 5th is a few weeks away and the country will move forward.

I'll refer you to a fairly decent summary on Wired - https://www.wired.com/story/trump-cyber-worst-quotes-statements-hackers-ukraine-russia/. I do have a couple of things I definitely what to highlight - The first is that I a close friend who was on an executive conference call where the former president suggested a joint cyber unit with Russia (https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-backtracks-on-cyber-unit-with-russia-after-harsh-criticism-idUSKBN19U0OW/). I'll let you draw your own thoughts. His next, and to me, biggest, f-up was his treatment of Chris Kerbs, arguably one of the leading voices in our field. He dared say that the 2020 election had no cyber security issues. and was fired by an f-ing tweet.
